The Damaging Political Effects of Rising Gas Prices

Now the delicious irony here, is that Obama is trying to take credit for it happening on his watch…He’s actually got the enlarged pair to try and make a campaign issue out of it.. As John Bolton suggests a few weeks ago … Obama taking credit for Binladen’s de...
